Was watching hook line and sinker on Sunday and on the tackle segment, they had a baitcaster with a built in jig-mechanism for casting plastics, apparently it won 1st in the victorian tackle show. anyone heard of these, i have forgoten

the make etc etc so if anyone can shed some light that would be great.

Was also one I saw a year or two ago called the Daiwa "smak".

Looks and sounds good but what is it worth

I would think $400 - $500?

Can just see the wife if I came home with one of them

Cheers Dodgyone, thats the one, anyone heard any info on how they go, like you said 2rods, i reckon it would be on the pricey side, think i will have to stick to the manual way for for a while yet.

what I'd do for a reel with a motor to pull the lure in!! then who would need stubbie holders in the boat?

Had a play with one at Top End Fishing Supplies at 11 mile... $340.00

It doesn't hold much line and seems a bit ....um.... flimsy. I will stick with manual retrieve thanks.

$319 at Got One. Bit pricey for me.
